Wine and dine to benefit Schenectady nursery

The Schenectady Day Nursery, a child-care center founded in 1902, will be the beneficiary of A Little Bit of Jazz & More, a fundraiser scheduled for 5:30-8 p.m. next Thursday, April 26, at the VanCurler Room at Schenectady County Community College in Schenectady.

New to the event this year is a wine-tasting component, which will feature 13 labels from vineyards in California, Australia, France and South Africa. Finger foods as well as carving, antipasto and pasta stations will be created by student’s of SCCC’s cuilinary-arts program.

Music will be by jazz singer Collen Pratt and friends. Among the silent-auction items: a historic Albany print by L.F. Tantillo, a Mary Cassat print, a Kate Spade bag and matching wallet, a matching pair of Fendi watches in their original boxes and a variety of themed baskets.
